NEC, Thursday announced that it has been selected by Telenor Norway and Telenor Sweden to support its IP/MPLS Network Modernization program (BRUT). NEC via NEC Scandinavia will provide routing, switching and security equipment, as well as, training, spare parts, technical support and maintenance services to both the operators.
As part of these projects, NEC will prepare, enable and perform the migration of services in a turnkey arrangement in cooperation with Telenor. Furthermore, NEC will also develop, support and maintain the modernized Nordic one-operations IP/MPLS network for an initial period of five years. This will help to ensure a non-stop network with uptime of at least five nines (99.999%), with a feature rich capability to deliver enhanced IP services to Telenor's increasing subscriber base.
